A fragmented 1870s era column blends poetry on a river scene with notes on paper substitutes for rag stock. It discusses Esparto Grass as a potential national paper source, cites corn husks and elephant manure, and covers local civic matters and a playful baseball vignette with humorous accidents and community life.

An 1870 Iowa bill outlines two year appropriations for the Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, and Supreme Court expenses, with contingent funds and retroactive provisions. The text mixes narrative notes and ledger-like salary figures, including deputy salaries and court costs, amid publication stamps.
